Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Mentoring for Child Victims of Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Domestic Sex Trafficking Initiative is a discretionary federal grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its main purpose is to expand and strengthen mentoring and related support for minors who have been commercially sexually exploited or domestically sex trafficked. The initiative is specifically focused on child victims under age 18, including youth who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, and it emphasizes increasing access to direct, victim-centered services through structured mentoring programs.
The solicitation offers two distinct funding categories. Category 1, Mentoring Project Sites, funds organizations that will either build a new mentoring capacity or enhance an existing one to better serve these children. The intent is practical and service-driven: grantees are expected to conduct outreach to identify and engage eligible youth, create or expand the pool of trained mentors, and deliver direct mentoring services alongside coordinated supports. A key eligibility detail is that Category 1 applicants must initiate mentoring services to youth who are 17 years old or younger, aligning the program with a clear juvenile focus while still serving minors up to age 18. Overall, Category 1 is about running on-the-ground mentoring projects that reach exploited and trafficked children and connect them to consistent, appropriate adult support and related victim services.
Category 2, Training and Technical Assistance, funds a provider that will support the Category 1 project sites. Rather than primarily delivering mentoring directly to youth, the Category 2 awardee is meant to strengthen implementation across the initiative by offering training, guidance, and technical assistance. In practice, this kind of award typically helps ensure that project sites use effective and safe mentoring approaches, build staff and mentor competency, develop policies and procedures, improve coordination with local partners, and address common challenges that arise when serving youth impacted by trafficking and exploitation. The goal is to create a backbone of expertise that improves quality and consistency across the funded mentoring sites.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP-2014-3827) anticipated making about four awards under CFDA 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program. Awards could be as high as $500,000, with no stated award floor, and the solicitation did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The posting date was March 31, 2014, and the application deadline was May 15, 2014, with the program later archived on June 14, 2014. The funding instrument is a grant and the activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services.
Eligibility varies by category. For Category 1, eligible applicants include states and territories, units of local government (including federally recognized tribes), and nonprofit or for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations). For Category 2, eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal entities) and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For both categories, for-profit organizations may apply only if they agree to forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP also indicates that collaborative applications are welcome, but one eligible organization must serve as the primary applicant while other participating entities can be included as subrecipients, with the lead applicant retaining primary responsibility for managing and delivering the project.
The initiative is authorized under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-76), under specified paragraphs within the Juvenile Justice heading. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, OJJDP directed inquiries to the Justice Information Center (JIC) via phone, email, or web chat during standard business hours, with extended hours on the solicitation close date.
